In this paper, a nonlinear finite element analysis program NUCAS, which has been developed for assessment of ultimate pressure capacity and failure mode for nuclear containment building is described. Degenerated shell element with assumed strain method and low-order solid element with enhanced assumed strain method is adapted to microscopic material and elasto-plastic material model, respectively. Finally, the performance of the developed program is tested and demonstrated with several examples. From the numerical tests, the present results show a good agreement with experimental data or other numerical results.

Because strong urban earthquakes must produce huge losses of both life and property, examinations about the effect of huge earthquakes for tall buildings are very required. The goal of this report is examining model safety and compare the behavior of 2-D tall models under huge seismic loads. This report examines high-rise models designed KBC2009 codes using 1) seismic loads regulated by KBC2009 and 2) amplified seismic loads assumed to strong earthquakes. And observing for more realistic behavior of tall buildings under huge earthquakes, this report takes two analysis methods - response spectrum analysis and non-linear time history analysis considering P-delta effect.

바낙 공기 급기(UFAD, underfloor air distribution)는 사무실과 상업 건물의 공조를 위하여 바닥 하부 공간을 사용하는 혁신적인 기술이다. 북미에서는 UFAD가 기존 천장 공기 급기 방식에 비하여 많은 장점을 지니므로 그 수요가 날로 증가하고 있다. 잘 설계된 UFAD 시스템은 다음과 같은 장점을 지닌다. - 건물의 용도 변경에 따픈 유연성이 우수하므로 건물의 생애 주기 비용을 감소시킨다. - 개별 쾌적성 제어가 가능하므로 온열 쾌적성, 거주자의 만족도 그리고 생산성을 향상시킨다. - 거주자주변에 직접 선선한 공기를 공급하므로 환기 효율, 실내 공기질 그리고 건강 상태를 향상시킨다. - 이코노마이저 운전, 온도 성층화 그리고 낮은 정합 운전에 의하여 에너지 비용을 감소시킨다. - 설비 공간이 축소되고 표준 철골 구조에서는 콘크리트 구조체 변경이 가능하므로 새 건축 공법에서는 충고를 감소시킬 수 있다. 1995년까지만 해도 UFAD는 파격적인 설계 기법이라고 여겨졌지만, 이제 설계자와 건축업자들은 2004년까지 신축되는 사무용 건축품의 35%는 바닥을 높인 기법이 적용되며 이 중 반 정도가 UFAD를 채택할 것이라고 예측하고 있다. 2000년 2억불이라고 추정되던 바닥을 높이는 건축의 시장 규모가 2004년에는 최소 10억불이 되리라고 예측된다. UFAD는 기본 연구에 의한 정립된 표준화된 설계 기법과 지침이 아직 마련되지 않았음에도 불구하고 현재 설계, 시공되고 있다. 이라한 경향은 펄수적인 연구가 수행되어 관련 업계가 지식과 경험을 충분히 쌓기 전까지는 계속될 전망이다. 본고는 시스템 설계와 운영의 주요한 특징, 기존 방식과 비교하여 지니고 있는 잠재적인 장점, 한계와 기술 개발의 필요성, UFAD 기술 개발을 위하여 계속적으로 요구되는 연구 분야 등을 서술함으로써 현재 UFAD 기술에 대한 평가를 한다.

본 논문에서는 원자력발전소의 부속건물인 냉각탑에 대한 추계론적 해석을 수행하였다. 냉각탑 구조는 원자력발전소의 냉각시스템 부속건물로서 그 규모가 매우 큰 반면 쉘의 두께가 매우 얇아 바람하중에 취약한 구조로서 주로 철근콘크리트로 건설된다. 냉각작용은 냉각탑의 하부에 유입된 외부공기에 의한 대류현상에 의하며 냉각에 필요한 시설은 냉각탑 하부에 위치한다. 이 구조는 형태적 및 재료적 특성에 따라 형상과 재료에서 공간적인 형상불완전과 재료적 불확실성을 가지며, 이들 불확실성은 구조의 응답에 영향을 미친다. 이들 인수의 불확실성을 추계장으로 가정하고 이들 사이의 상관관계를 고려하여 응답에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 해석에는 4절점 층상쉘요소를 사용하였고, 몬테카를로 해석을 적용하였다.

Dynamic response measurements from natural excitation were carried out for 25- and 42-story buildings to evaluate their inherent properties, such as natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratios. Both are reinforced concrete buildings adopting a core wall, or with shear walls as the major lateral force resisting system, but frames are added in the plan or elevation. In particular, shear walls in a 25-story building are converted to frames from the 4th floor level downwards while maintaining a core wall throughout, resulting in a fairly complex structure. Due to this, along with similar stiffness characteristics in the principal directions, significantly coupled and closely spaced modes of motion are expected in this building, making identification rather difficult. By using various state-of-the-art system identification methods, the modal parameters are extracted, and the results are then compared. Three frequency-domain and four time-domain based operational modal identification methods are considered. Overall, all natural frequencies and damping ratios estimated from the different identification methods showed a greater consistency for both buildings, while mode shapes exhibited some degree of discrepancy, varying from method to method. On the other hand, in comparison with analysis results obtained using the initial finite element(FE) models, test results exhibited a significant difference of about doubled frequencies, at least for the three lower modes in both buildings. To improve the correlation between test and analysis, a few manual schemes of FE model updating based on plausible reasons have been applied, and acceptable results are obtained. The advantages and disadvantages of each identification method used are addressed, and some difficulties that might arise from the updating of FE models, including automatic procedures, for such large structures are carefully discussed.

The main objective of this paper is to apply as the basic data for development of a methodology to discuss the future earthquake preparedness measures in Korea by investigating the concept and applicabilities of the Japanese Standard for Evaluation of Seismic Performance of Existing RC Buildings developed in Japan among the methodologies of all the countries of the world. This paper describes the seismic performance, Is-index, of existing RC buildings in Tokyo, Japan evaluated by the Japanese Standard, also the relationships between Is-index distribution of existing RC buildings in Tokyo and that of Shizuoka and Chiba Prefecture reported already in reference[4][5][6] are investigated. And from the comparison with Is-index to buildings damaged by earthquakes experienced in Japan, the damage ratio due to severe earthquake of 3 districts mentioned above is estimated based on the probabilistic point of view. The results of this study can be utilized to identify urgently required earthquake preparedness measures with highest priority in existing RC buildings, and the methodology to evaluate the seismic performance of existing RC buildings in Japan, statistics analysis method and the methodology to estimate earthquake damage ratio based on the probabilistic point of view shown in this study can be recommended to develop a methodology to discuss the future earthquake preparedness measures in Korea.

In this paper, the vibration control effect of the Exo-type damping system was investigated by applying the Kagome dampers to 15-story and 20-story frame structure apartment. A new Exo-type damping system composed of the dampers and supporting column was proposed in the previous work and numerical analysis were performed to investigate the effects of optimum stiffness ratio between controlled structure and supporting column, the size of damper and yield ratio of the damper. The numerical analysis results of a structure with Exo-type damping system up to the third story showed that the stiffness ratio should be higher than 7.0 and the damper device yield ratio be at least 8.0% ($V_{damper}/V_{base\;shear$) to effectively reduce the base shear and the maximum drift of the uppermost story. When the Exo-type damping system was installed up to the fifth story, the stiffness ratio should be higher than 2.5 and damper device yield ratio needs to be at least 3.5% ($V_{damper}/V_{base\;shear$) for obtaining the target performance.

Steel encased composite columns have been used for buildings and piers of bridges. Since the column section for the pier is relatively larger than that of building columns, economical steel ratio needs to be investigated for the required performance. Composite action between concrete and embedded steel sections can be obtained by bond and friction. However, the behavior of the column depends on the load introduction mechanism. Compression can be applied to concrete section, steel section and composite section. In this paper, experiments on shear strength of the steel encased composite column were performed to study the effect of confinement by transverse reinforcements, mechanical interlock by holes, and shear connectors. Bond strength obtained from the tests showed considerably higher value than the design value. Confinement, mechanical interlock and stud connectors Increased the shear strength and these values can be used effectively to obtain composite action of Steel Reinforced Concrete(SRC) columns.
